Marcie solved the following inequality, and her work is shown below:

−2(x − 5) − 12 ≤ 4 + 6(x + 3)
−2x + 10 − 12 ≤ 4 + 6x + 18
−2x − 2 ≤ 6x + 22
−8x ≤ 24
x ≤ −3

what mistake did marcie make in solving the inequality

i believe your answer is 99.7% of 7-year-old children are between 46.6 inches and 49.5 inches tall.

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
